Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

Synopsis

A movie within a movie, created to spoof the martial arts genre. Writer/director Steve Oedekerk uses contemporary characters and splices them into a 1970s kung-fu film, weaving the new and old together. As the main character, The Chosen One, Oedekerk sets off to avenge the deaths of his parents at the hands of kung-fu legend Master Pain. Along the way, he encounters some strange characters

Kung Pow: Enter The Fist is one of the stupidest comedies the world has ever seen, something I can't possibly stress enough. It appears to have been made by a single individual on a $6 budget, stringing together old Kung Fu movies and dubbing them over with ridiculous voices, saying non-sensical things. Half of the humor stems from a 4th grade appropriate "look how stupid we're being!" mindset and the other half is born from pure, insane randomness. It has a 5.9/10 on IMDb, which is probably richly deserved.

And it is awesome.

I'll put it this way - if that first paragraph sounds completely unappealing to you (as it probably should), then you should…

Successful screenwriter Steve Oedekerk (Nothing to Lose, Nutty Professor, Ace Ventura 2, Bruce Almighty) takes the martial arts film "Tiger and Crane Fists" and transforms it into a goofy spoof. He inserts himself in the film as "The Chosen One," a lonely warrior who must defeat the evil Master Betty. And a fighting cow.

"Betty has gone too far. Killing is wrong, and bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing like badwrong or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing, gnodab."

" I'll take a pound of nuts. THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS. THAT'LL BE FOUR BUCKS BABY, YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT? HE JUST LEFT.... WITH NUTS".

I can't do this film justice. Easily one of the most entertaining films I've ever seen. I don't know if it's really shitty or really amazing( or both). Just get a couple of friends and watch it, you won't regret it.

This is an incredibly difficult film for me to review. I love it makes me laugh a lot. It's probably one of the dumbest things anyone has ever made, but it's not without its charm and I like the concept as far as spoofy things go. My brothers and I watched this and Austin Powers a million times growing up I'm sure. Is it naff? Ach.
